Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced. During my trip to Ukraine last week, I've witnessed first hand their unwavering courage and resilience.

Together with the international community, @iom.int stands ready to continue supporting Ukrainians in need.

Two years ago today, devastating earthquakes struck southeast Türkiye. We remember those who perished and honour the resilience of those affected.

IOM - UN migration agency - will continue working with the government and partners to assist the most vulnerable and facilitate sustainable recovery.
